A good Thing for the Country.

Gazette: Discussing our "magnifi- cent financial exhibit" in reducing the interest bearing public debt since 1865 from $2,3Sl. .530, ,294 to $1, ,02I, ,692,350 June 30, 1887, and the annual interest charge from $I50, ,979,697 in 1865 to $4I,1S0,0l0 in 1887, the St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat says:
 In the year when the nations as a whole are increasing their debt bur dens at the rate of $300,000, 900 an nually, the United States is lessen ing It's obligation to the extent Of $62. 100000. This has been the average yearly reduction of the in terest bearing debt of the country since the war closed. In the year winch has just ended, during which the country has enjoyed business prosperity seldom equaled, the inter- est bearing debt was lessened to the extent Of SPA, 100000. These are results on which the country can fairly congratulate itself. The present state of tue nations finances makes a reduction in the govern ment's income imperative; but the purpose of ultimately extinguishing the debt will not be relaxed. For tunately for the country, most of it's citizens and representative men con slider national debt national bur den, which should be got rid ol at the earliest practicable moment.
 But in short time the Globe Democrat will be printing editorials to prove that democratic admlnistra- tion is rapidly sending the country to the devil, financially and other wise. The people of the United States have concluded that democrat lc administration is q most excellent thing for the country.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Correspondence of the Democrat
 PIKE COUNTY, Ark, July I2.-Be- Ing away down in Dixie I have con cluded to give you few dots. Leay- ing Atkins on the 7th at 3 p. m., we arrived here at Stell Town in Pike county on the Sth at ? p. m. Had a happy meeting with J. F. Copeland and family former resident and na- tive of Pope county, with whom we had not met for 20 years. l must say l was disappointed in this coun try and the people. Crops are fine, and to my great surprise l see more corn growing here than in any coun- try l have ever been, that bids fair to yield from 30 to 90 bushels per acre. The best stock I have ever seen in the state is here in Pike county including fiae mules and horses and cattle. J. F. Copeland seems to be in the lead. He has q fine Kentucky jack and the finest Jersey cows 1 ever saw. The peo- pie here seem to be prosperous and but few of them in debt. Morally these people seem to be the equal of any people with whom l have met Religiously the Baptist, Methodist and Campbellites seem to be In the ascendancy, on last Sunday we at tended service at the Babtist church for whom J. P. Copeland Is minis tering. Rev. H. G. York, a visiting minister from Nashville, preached a good sermon for us. Their Sabbath school and church service indicates to me that they were progress i've and religious people. l have seen more fine saw mills and pine timber since 1 have been down here than in all my life before. Bro. Copeland lives in the black lands and has as fine land as can be found on the Arkansas river. The growth is gum, ash, sassafras, red bud, with red and slipery elm, the latter is abundant and grows from to 3 feet in diameter. Lands here are cheap, ranging from $3 to SIP per acre. All thls country needs is railroad to develop their natural resources.
 Send me the DEMOCRAT to this of flee while I remain here, and tell Aunt Wash from Dover, Cheese from Potts Station and Bill Jug from App pleton, to let me hear from them. More next week.

who claim to know that Thurman is too pure democrat to be governor of such state as Ohio. Politics is in such morbid condition that the incompatibility between an honest, upright, high minded gentleman, and public office is so great as to cause efferycssence and consequent explosion. We wonId be glad to see the time when the first thing that could be said of q public officer would be, that he is an honest, con sclentious, gentleman, and will, therefore, administer the affairs of the office for the good of the govern ment. We would like to see the time when political tricksters would cut their own heads of by their trick cry.

IT seems to be pretty certain now that we are to have an exposition the coming autumn. The purpose of it is to array before the people of the state, and of the United States, the vast resources, mineral, agrlcul- tural, horticultural, timber and every thing of the state, in such way as to attract the attention of capitalists. It is the duty of every citizen in the state to assist in this exposition. Be cause it is desirable that the state shall be showed up to the best ad- vantage. Ifthere is anything in the state, and we think there is, let us exhibit it.

Democratic Record.

The Little Rock Democrat in m swer to this question from cores. pondent "What splendid record has the Democratic party made within the past three years, very correctly says:
 1. It has restored more than 100,- 100000 acres of uncarned land grants to the public domain for the benefit of poor settlers. ,. It has paid nearly $200, 100000 of the public debt and at the same time paid more money for pensions than was ever paid before in the same time.
 3. The expenses of the govern ment have been reduced about $lo,- 900, ,00O.
 4. Hordes of lazy, incompetent and useless officials have been dis pensed with.
 ,. It has broken up Indian rings, land rings and tradership rings that flourished till the Democratic party came into power.
 6. It has established business methods and strict economy for job bery and wasteful extravagances.
 '. 1t has given the lie to the charge that the Democracy if en trusted with power would "put the negroes back in slavery and pension the Confederate soldiers"
 It has done more in three years to curb the rapacity of corporations than the Republican party did in a quarter of q century.
 9. The Democratic party repealed the odlous and unjust tenure of of flee act.
 10. A Democratic congress passed an act forbidding the ownership of land by aliens.
 II. A Democratic congress insti- tuted 3 searching inquiry into the affairs and management of the Pacif- ic railroads--an investigation which has already accomplished much good.
 I2. The Democrats reduced the fees on postal money orders and ex- tended the benefits of the free deliv- cry system.
 13. A Democratic congress order ed the adjustment of railroad land grants.
 IA. A Democratic congress passed an act authorizing the issue of small silver certificates "a matter of great advantage to the people.
 15. A Democratic congress passed the act settling the succession to the presidency, and also tue act regulat ing the counting of the electoral vote. There could be no more important acts.
 Is. A Democratic congress passed an act forbidding the use of convict labor upon all government works. A just and wise act.
 All this has been done by Demo crats inside of three years. And only part of the splendid recorda made by the Democratic party with in that time.
The Russellville Democrat., 1887-07-20

SOME of the leading democrats think that the chief issue in the coming campaign will be tariff re- duetion measure. It is intended to introduce the bill in congress this winter, and by that means bring it before the people and finally incor. porate it into the platform in the SS convention, and then make the fight square on that measure. Revenue reduction demands consideration at the hands of our law makers and must have it. But some leading re publicans think that a measure of this kind if introduced in congress will never live to see the convention. If they can prevent it, certainly, 1t will never reach the convention, and never get into the platform. They are measuring the life of the bill by their determination to kill 1t.

IT seems to be pretty certain now that the President will accept the in. vitation to be extended to him by the citizens of s.. Louis, to visit that city the coming autumn, and then make general western tour. It is to be hoped that nothing will happen to deter him from making such a trip, for we are sure it would result in good to the country. The Presi- dent needs a little personal contact with the people, and the South and West seems to be determined to use all possible means to give him q good opportunity for such contact
The Russellville Democrat., 1887-07-20

TIE Democracy is gradually, con stantly, steadily coming to the front. It is every day showing that it can and does meet the wants of the peo. pie, that it fosters and encourages free government, government for the people and by tho people, free insti- tutions, liberty of thought and speech. It is showing by the pub. llc acts of it's officers that it is step by step marching on to complete mastery Of the situation. When we consider the circumstances under which the party came into power, the mountainous drawbacks to a peoples government, the greedy bold ness and rapacious impetuosity of opponents, and the low standard of high official integrity, we can calcu- late how much good the party has done, and how rapidly itis meeting the wants of the country. When Cleveland was elected the Democrat ic party had to emerge from the bot tom of . quarter of q century of mis rule and corruption. In coming up from this fuliginous mass, and stand ing in the midst of countless con ficting ideas, the President may have made mistakes, but they have been overruled by hls better deeds. Some Of his yetoes are founded on pure democratic principles. The flag episode has raised him hun dred degrees in the scale of demo cratic principles, and the G. A. R. Encampmeut affair and threats of certain unprincipled fellows, raise him still higher and higher. If the President can find time and can be induced to travel over the territory of his official supervision, so that he may have an oeult idea of the coun- try of which he is the chief officer, and familiarize himself with the people he governs, he will vet be the greatest statesman of them all. And under him the Democracy will show itself adequate to all the emergen cies of our nation. If things re main as they now are, he will be re- elected by larger majority than he was the first time,

IN the Utah Constitutional Con vention recently committee report ed new sections prohibiting polyga- my. The punishment for violation is fine not exceeding 5000, and imprisonment for not less than six months, nor more than three years, These sections have been agreed to, and it is thought, will be adopted. If so, it will break up polygamy among the Mormans.

Hone for the Farmers.

The time has come with the south ern farmers when they see the ne- cesslty of abandoning old methods, and adopting new ones; the intro duction of horse reapers, mowers and blows that will expedite cultivation and cconomise labor, shows we are in transition state; preparing to re. duce the area of cotton planting, and increase the area of grain, clover, grass and other crops, III short, we are fixing up for diversified farming This is what l have been recon mending to all our farmers for the last fifteen years in all my articles in the Southern Cultivator, and otll-- CT agricultural journals. I am glad to see change has begun and in the near future, wlli see our southern farms once more teeming with fine, crops of corn, wheat and oats, as well as clover and grass, and fine stock of all kinds of our own raising, making us as we should be, self supporting prosperous set of farmers. We have served too long q time at making cotton which has impover. ished the farmers and made rich merchants and cotton Kings; let us { now turn over new leaf, and farm for our own good and profit. We have the country, the lands and the climate adapted to the most diversi- lied system of farming of any other country all needed, is the will, to make it so--so let it be so Agri- cultural machinery is new to most, of our Southern farmers, and espec- ially the negro, the laborer we have. mostly to rely on; but still there arc many of them sufficiently intelligent with little training to make them use them advantageously under thS supervision of the owner. OlE young farmers should drive thf
 own reapers and mowers, but " Told farmers who have not sons
 them, they are dependent ou Ee Z lings. but if possible they should be operated under their supervision for like all machinery they must be us- ed with judgement and care. But when there Is will there is a way, and grain and grass crops will soon teach us the right way of using machinery. We don say stop growing cotton altogether. we only tell you to plant more grain, and raise stock, and feed yourselves, and. have some to spare to feed the city and village folks; and stop buying all your food supplies from the mer- chants become farmers Tn the true sense of the meaning Of the word and not merely cotton planters which means s'the hewers of wood, and drawers of water, ,n--John II. Dent in Southern Cnltiyator for July.
